Official translation

It was a challenging piece to arrange, as the original relies heavily on effects rather than melodic elements. The more I listened, the more I realized that these effects convey a sense of anxiety and uncertainty-perhaps even a hint of fear. To capture this atmosphere, I transformed some of these sonic structures into musical motives and introduced my own gloomy harmonies to enhance the arrangement.

Original text

原曲はメロディーの要素よりもエフェクトに大きく頼っているため、アレンジしにくい曲でした。聴けば聴くほど、これらのエフェクトが不安感や不確実性、おそらくはほのかな恐怖感を伝えていることに気づきました。 この雰囲気を捉えるために、いくつかの効果音的な要素を音符に変換しました。また、アレンジを引き立てるために私独自の陰鬱なハーモニーを導入しました。
